FALLSTON.

Dear old Hartford, which abounds in rich farms
and lovely homesteads, has no more attractive
spot than the quiet town OF Fallston. To view il
in all Its charms one must approach it as we did,
from the direction of the Baltimore turnpike
Here Its depth of shade and exceeding freshness
of foliage make 1t scene of rare beauty. On
every hand are neat dwellings, surrounded by
lovely green yards gay with fowers-speaking in
varied voices of the industry and taste of the
cupants. To tired denizen of the city, weary
with the monotony of city architecture, how
sweet, how refreshing visit to a spot like this
Our driver informed us that he was born and
reared near Fallston, and as we drove slowly
through the town he entertained US with various
interesting facts connected with the surround
ing farms and their owners. when "he was boy
and lived with uncle 'Quilla."
Everything in this home of Friends denotes
solid comfort and prosperity. Here are no gaudy
shams, no modern architectural deformities, but
real homes.
ABUSED mortals !! did you know
Where JOY, hearts-ease and comforts grow;
You'd scorn proud towers,
And seek them in these bowers,
Where winds sometimes our woods perhaps
may shake,
But clustering care could never tempest
make,
Nor murmurs e'er come nigh US,
Save OF fountains that glide by u.s."
But bark What do hear? The shrek of the
locomotive Alas! Fallston is on the road to
Improvement! Farewell, sweet peace and rural
happiness. L. A.
